Lot details Registration No: GTL 251 Frame No: RC10470C
When Vincent introduced the Series B Rapide in 1946 it dispensed with a conventional loop frame, utilising the engine as a stressed member to which the top frame "tube", incorporating the oil tank and rear suspension and swinging arm pivot attached. The result helped keep the wheelbase to a minimum.
A consequence of this method of construction is that "rolling chassis" with "matching" numbers are rarely offered. This example of a Series C Rapide chassis is a rare exception to the rule.
Described as being in average condition by the vendor, it is complete with the front wheel, forks, fuel tank mudguards, rear hub, saddle, handlebars, headlamp and rear light. A Swansea V5C accompanies the frame.
